Spain: During the week of October 19 to 25, students from different educational centers in Barcelona and citizens will take to the streets to participate in the action “Flowers in Memory”. They will create small gardens of remembrance in squares in the ten districts of the city. Each space will have a commemorative plaque with the names of homeless people who have died in Barcelona over the past ten years, surrounded by handmade white roses.
